That seems unreasonable. It's nice to have a button to turn off these kinds of things, individually. But as written, that seems to be against separate buttons to turn off aeb and lane keeping, but you could have one button to turn off both. I'd rather have more buttons.
My experience with AEB has been good, but other people report issues, better for them to easily be able to turn it off if it doesn't work for them, IMHO. Unless NHTSA is going to require debugging and tuning and etc to be easily accessible and magically fast.
